Distance Learning Resource Guide:
Education and Technology Issues

INTRODUCTION

Distance Learning is the delivery of educational services where students are in one location and the instructor in another. It can include educational services delivered through cable or satellite hook-ups, the Internet, or an institution's intranet.

This Resource Guide contains a range of resources on issues in Distance Learning. Included in the Resource Guide are selected journal articles and conference proceedings; book and journal titles; Distance Learning organizations and associations; and Internet sites which may direct the user to additional resources on Distance Learning.

Particular focus is on emerging educational and technology issues in Distance Learning: state-of-the-art technology, programs for adult learners, and educational challenges to teachers and students in this type of learning environment. The Resource Guide is not intended to be a comprehensive directory.

Education and business databases were among the sources used to compile this Guide. Most citations are from 1998 - 2002 in order to display current concerns and issues.
